Chemistry

ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
6 0

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

Which is the correct complete ionic equation for the reaction of
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) + H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq)

In writing an ionic equation, only the aqueous compounds dissociates into ions. This means HCl and ZnCl2 would dissociate to form ions.

This is given as;

2H+  +  2Cl-  + Zn(s) --> H2(g) + Zn2+  + 2Cl-

The correct option is;

b) 2H+(aq) + 2C1-(aq) + Zn(s) → H2(g) + Zn2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

If a runner maintains a constant speed of 12 miles an hour how long will it take to complete a half marathon race of 13.1 miles?
Nutka1998 [239]
At 12 mph, how long does it take to go 13.1 miles?

We know that distance = rate * time
So we know that 13.1 = 12 * time
We can now see that time = 13.1/12 = 1.092 (hours)
That's approximately 1 hour and .092*60=5.52 minutes.
